VIDEO + GIVEAWAY | Craft Favourites 2015 - Stamping

Hello there, for the past few years I have shared my craft favourites each year. I usually combine everything in one or two videos but this year I wanted to split them up in to separate videos and posts. This means that I can do a mini-giveaway on each category :)

 

 

Today I am kicking off with stamping. I love stamping! It is one of my favourite techniques with regards to card making. There were some amazing stamp sets released this month. I will be sharing my favourites in the video, along with my most used ink pads, stamping accessories and cleaning products.

Cute Christmas Tags

Hello there, today I have two tags to share with you using the Arctic Animals set from Clearly Besotted. They are just the most adorable critters and I thought the penguin and polar bear would look cute on some tags for presents.

I started off by cutting four tags using the Clearly Besotted Rounded Tag die from white cardstock. Two of these were then cut again using one of the ME Landscape Border Trio dies. I then blended Distress Ink over the other two . I used Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch and Seedless Preserves. The snow bank was then added to the bottom of these.

 

The penguin, polar bear and hats were stamped on to white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured using Copic Markers. These were then cut out using the matching dies. I added a little Star Dust Stickles to the white parts on the hats and Glossy Accents to the nose on the polar bear, and the beak on the penguin.
 

 

The penguin and polar bear were then added to the tags using foam tape and I added some white and silver baker's twine through the top of the tags.
